INDIANS RESTED,
READY TO TAKE
AUGUSTA TODAY
EMIL ROY TO TWIRL AS
TRIBE RESUMES SALLY
LEAGUE ACTIVITY
With the hopes that their day
seat will do them good when they re
sume diamond warfare with the Au
gusta Tigers today in the North
Georgia city, the Savannah Indians
this morning entrained for the cage
of the “cats." Emil Roy will take the
mound today for the Tribe with the
expectation that he can start the In
dians back on another streak which
will push them up into the head of
the second division.
The securing of two men, to fur
ther plug the gaps apparent in the
fielding of the Indians in their last
10 games, has brought forth new
comments on the parts of the base
ball critics. Just whose place they
will take is a master for conjecture
and the “smart" boys are guessing
who will be shunted out. Linville, an
infielder is coming here from the
Pirates who believe him ready for
this class ball, will arrive in the cty
in the middle part of June. The
other player is Van Groski who is
being sent here by Scamton on op
tion. Playing in tihe backstop posi
tion, Van Grosky is the answer to
the apparent needs for the utility
man behind the plate.
A general shakeup is expected in
the ranks of the Tribe as they swing
into the latter stages of the first
half of the season’s schedule. No
hope being held for them for the win
ning of the first half, the Indians
are devoting their time and effort to
make up of their second half aggrega
tion.

INDIANS VS. TIGERS AT AUGUSTA TODAY
SEA ISLAND TEAM
NEXT FOES OF
LOCAL SWIMMERS
RANKS OF CITY TEAM AUG
MENTED BY ADDITION
OF HOLST
Beady for their first official meet
of the season, the Savannah swim
ming team whicn makes the DeSoto
pool its home pool, is ready for their
jaunt to Sea Island Sunday to try
and take the measure of the Casino
team under the direction of Capt.
Lindsey. Known as the coach which
developed and trained Louisa Roberts,
the Atlanta Back stroke star whose
advent into the last Olympics was
marred by an operation after she had
made the team, Lincsey is prepaid
to throw the full load of his cirgk
college team into the Savannahians
coached by Sammy Rhode. Having
met in the last two years in two
meets, the score now stands as one
each with the deciding issue to come
up for trial Sunday afternoon.
J. B. Holst, whose arch rival, T.
Powell of the Casino team, is ready
for diving competition against the
Savannah ace, arrived home yester
day from Georgia Tech, where he up
held the diving honors for this crack
swimming team. Looking in better
shape than ever, the elongated high
board star is ready for action in an
effort to take the measure of Uowell.
The free style swimmers are lining'
up better than ever w’ith the advent
of hot weather. Showing unexpected
form in dashes, the stylists headed
by Holst and Ellis will be in fine
fettle when they line up for the
starting gun. Ellis is expected to take
care of the 50 yard free style and
Holst is to swim in the 100. Their
support will come in the form of Luke
Bowyer who will shoulder the burden
in the 200, and Darken, Weil, and
Weeks taking care of the relay and
medley.
McKenna and Richards will have
comparitively easy sailing in the
breast stroke events as it is a known
fact that the Sea Island club is woe
fully weak in this style stroke, and
GIAA champion.

WILBUR LEE BRUBAKER —
PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Wilbur Lee Brubaker may not be
another Pie Traynor, but the third
basing rookie for the Pittsburgh
Pirates is a counterpart of the re
vered Pie physically. And, that may
be said for his present hitting prow
ess so rthe Pirates.
Wilbur Lee is only Pie’s under
study, but he has been minding that
hot corner for the Pirates like no
body’s business, fielding beautifully
and keeping his average around the
.350 mark. As Buddy Lewis of the
Washington Senators may be said to
be the prize infielder of the rookie
crop in the American loop, so is Wil
bur Lee the prize infielder in the
National league.
Wilbur, better known as Bill, has
been the property of the Pirates since
1932 and has been up to their train
ing camp twice before. This year he
comes up from Kansas City, where
he hit .293, whic’.. included a flock of
extra-base blows.
Cleveland to Hollywood
Bill was bom in Cleveland just 25
years ago, but he is a Hollywood, Cal.,
lad. H 3 moved there some time ago
and is a product of the University
of California at Los Angeles, where
he was graduated in 1932, with a
bachelor of arts in ppolpitical science.
At U. C. L. A. he was on the foot
ball and track teams and played some
baseball, although most of his base
ball was outside work. He was picked
up by the Tigers and sent to Beau
mont. Let out, he was taken by the
Pirates, who sent him to Albany, To
ronto, and last year to Kansas City.
A right-handed hitter, Bill also is
adept at any position in the infield.
He filled in at frst base for Dale Al
exander wth the Kansas City club,
and did well. He really Is a third
basing expert, however.
Bill is married, has one child,, lives
in Hollywood in his off season and
spends that time as anaero mechanic.
He is built along the lines of Traynor,
six feet tall, and scales 175 pounds.

DIXIECRYSTALS
TO PLAY SAILORS
McGaughey is slated to
TAKE MOUND IN GAME
TODAY
Taking up where they left off last
Sunday when they handed a trounc
ing to the Savannah Beach Pelicans,
the Dixie Crystals today will play a
crack team from the destroyers Dick
erson and Schenck which are in port
awaiting sailing orders.
The team representing the destroy
ers played a team from Fort Screven
last Sunday and defeated them by a
decisive score to jump into prominence
in local sport circles. Bearing this in
mind the Crystals are to put their full
strength on the team in the hopes
of continuing their wanning streak.
McGaughey of the locals will take
the mound today in the hope of
wracking up another victory in his
winning column. Easily the star hurl
er of the Sugar boys, the diminul
tlve righthander can be expected to
share his burden of nicking the cor
ners and ‘‘chunking’’ the slow tantal
izing curves for which he is so famous
in local sport circles.

ALEX MORRISON says:
The correct swing looks so
simple that it should have a sim
ple explanation. This is what
every golfer thinks and so far he
is right. The catch comes when
he tries to make and keep his
swing simple, there is the main
difficulty, right in this very sim
plicity.
But here’s an exercise, away
to move your hands and arms
back and forth by which you can
learn a good part of the correct
swing. Stand fully erect with
both arms fully extended—have
the palm of the left hand facing
down, palm of the right facing
up. Then the hands to
gether interlocking the fingers as
shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
With the hands held together,
move the arms around to the right
with the proper body turn and
then move both arms and body
back toward the left. Keep the
arms moving back and forth in
creasing the backward turn of the
body each time.
Go through this routine two or
three a day, if you can. At
least do it every day and you’ll
eliminate at least half the kinks
in your present swing.
